AMG C 43 COUPÉ

It’s not every day that one gets to climb into an AMG-powered MercedesBenz. For the uninitiated, Mercedes-AMG is a special division within the German manufacturer which makes tuned versions of standard Mercedes-Benz cars. It goes without saying then that it is a recipe for some properly exciting stuff. We recently got our hands on the most affordable AMG money can buy in India to find out just how AMG-ish it is!

Design

As the name suggests, the C 43 gets coupe styling, which makes it look quite distinctive from the sides and rear. From the front, however, one can mistake it for a regular C-Class. However, that perspective changes completely once you look at the ride height, which is noticeably lower than the standard car. On the sides, the frameless doors and sloping roofline give the C43 a touch of immense class. When you get to the back though, the four exhaust tips take that look to a much meaner level. From the outside, at any given angle, the C 43 AMG will get eyeballs from almost everyone on the road.
